[maeyahh]

Hi, i'm maeyahh im new here. My problem is i have a swollen on the right of my neck i've had this for almost 1 year, the swollen is painless it is not reduced in size and it's not enlarged. But i don't have any symptoms and i'm still healthy. And i have a toothdache. Isn't connected? Or will it help if i have a tooth extraction to reduce the lump on my neck? What is the treatment to reduce the lump of my neck? Expect for taking antibiotics. Please help me..

A swollen lump on the side of your neck could be something very serious and needs to be evaluated by a physician. If it is a lymph node from an infected tooth, usually the tooth and the lymph node will be painful, It can be a swollen lymph node from a serious condition such as lymphoma, a type of cancer. So please get this checked out.

It is possible that your neck swelling is related to a tooth infection. There is no way I can tell from here.

If you have a toothache, see a dentist, who can prescribe antibiotics if necessary, and extract the tooth if that is needed.
